STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 25,1906.

Application filed February 24, 1905. Serial No. 247,203.

To (tZZ whont it may concern:

Be it known that 1, MICHAEL SOSNOSKI, a 1

citizen of the United States, residing at Kinde,

in the county of Huron and State of Michigan, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Stoves; and I do declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

My invention relates to improvements in stoves adapted for heating andcooking purposes.

The object of the invention is to improve and simplify the constructionof stoves of this character, and thereby render the same more durableand eflicient and less expensive to manufacture.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists ofcertain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement ofparts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing I have shown a vertical front-to-rearsectional view through a heating-stove embodying my improvements.

Referring to the drawing by numeral, 1 denotes the casing of my improvedheatingstove, which has in its lower portion a chamber divided by agrate 2 to form a fire-box 3 l and an ash pit or box 4 and its upperportion formed with a smoke-chamber or compartment 5, which communicateswith a smoke pipe or flue 6. The fire box or chamber 3 and thesmoke-chamber 5 are in communication through a plurality of verticalsmoke pipes or flues 7, which extend through the intermediate portion ofthe casing 1 between the said chambers. This intermediate chamber orspace is filled with sand or other material 9, which is a poor conductorof heat, so that when it is once hot it will retain its heat for aconsiderable length of time. The pipes or fiues 7 have their endsprojecting through and secured in horizontal partition-plates 10 10which are suitably secured within the casing 1 and separate the interiorof the latter into its upper, lower, and intermediate I To the top ofthe casing 1 and over the smokecompartment 5 is arranged a removable lcover 20, which permits of the pipes and said I smokecompartment beingcleaned of soot and the like, which may be forced down through the pipesand into the compartment 3 and thence through the grate-bars 2 and intothe ash-pan 4. The cover is provided with pot-openings, which are closedby lids 13.

The operation and advantages of the invention will be readily seen fromthe foregoing description. The heat from the fire on the grate 2 as itpasses upwardly through the flues 7 will quickly heat the sand or othermaterial 9 in the space around said flues, so that the stove will retaina considerable amount of heat after the fire dies down or goes out.Owing to the fact that the material 9 retains its heat for aconsiderable period, a material saving in fuel is effected by the use ofthe invention, since it is unnecessary to supply fuel as frequently asin the ordinary heating-stove.

I wish it to be understood that by my construction of stove the heatingof cookingutensils is quickly accomplished when the same are placed inposition on the smokechamber. The products of combustion coming from theflues of the stove and traveling toward the exit-flue serves to producethe quick heating effect upon the utensils. Various changes in the form,proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted towithout departing from the principle or sacrificing any of theadvantages of this invention.

1 Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a stove, the combination of the casing, a removable cover therefor,said cover being provided with pot-openings and closing means, saidcasing being divided by horizontal partitions into an uppersmoke-compartment and a lower combustion-chamber and an intermediateheat-radiating chamber, and a plurality of fines providing communicationbetween said smoke-chamber and said combustion-chamber, saidheating-chamber being filled with sand or like heat-absorbing material,substantially as described.

MICHAEL SOSNOSKI.
